Here's a Q&D adjustment to the placement of the swimmer. I'm not suggesting it's a better photo, but just putting it forth as an example of how a slight diffeence ~may~ affect the feel and content of a photo. Compare the orig and this and let me know what you think ... does the placement of the swimmer affect what you feel about the image? If you can compare the orig and this either side by side, or flip back and forth between them quickly, the effect may be more obvious and easier to judge.
